Gautam Doshi, Surendra Pipara and Hari Nair, Reliance executives were accused of cheating by allegedly creating a web of companies to hide the real identity of their partnership with Swan Telecom.

Goenka, charged with foregry, cheating, criminal conspiracy, and abetment of illegal gratification is accused of being a part of the conspiracy, while Unitech's Chandra is accused of being a beneficiary in the scam.
